I remember seeing your demon , every time I went to santapod 88 , liked the look of it with gold paint & a black vinyl top , then one sunday I turned up , the passenger door , quarter sill had been wiped out .shovelheadrob wrote:Cool, 2.30 in the 3rd clip is the other Demon I used to race, 11 second daily driver.
Was that really over 25 years ago? Thanks for the links.

The gold car was a different car, I already had the blue car but as it was an original 340 car I didn't really want to mess it about to put a RB motor in, but then the accident happened & the gold car went to be repaired & ended up getting back halved. In the meantime I put the running gear into the blue car.
You can't have too much power, only a lack of traction!

Thanks for the links Steveo!
Yes I remember it well too. We used to go to half a dozen or so meeting a year back then and this was always a fave and I remember '89 being a high point for the Doorslammers.
Also remember your Demon, Rob. You get a namecheck in part 11, towards the end
And while we're in a nostalgic mood.... check this one at the beginning. Black Mass Marina (Mopar powered of course ) ends up in the wrong lane during his burn out. Typical

yea that was a quick car black mass , entertaining launches & burn outs ! I thought it had a 440 in it too at some point , although my memory is not what it was

no worries matey , with the Hijack , its all good stuff , feel free to post anything you think that we would like to see !!RW71 wrote:Here is some in car footage of that Marina from '86 (looks to be running against Bob Browns Daytona!). The 383 sounds fantastic.
Oh, and thanks for the links Steveo, enjoyed them, sorry for the hijack!
I would imagine it was a 440 cos I think they took the running gear (but with a shorter prop!) out of the big C-body they used to race before the Marina....steveo wrote:RobTwin wrote:Thanks for the links Steveo!
